Üniversite Tercihlerinde Prestij, Deneyim ve Kulaktan Kulağa İletişimin Etkisi

Year 2019, 2019 Additional Number, 181 - 190, 27.10.2019

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, üniversite tercihlerinde algılanan dışsal prestijin
öğrenci ödüllendirme deneyimi üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek ve öğrenci
ödüllendirme deneyiminin de kulaktan kulağa iletişim (gelişen ihtiyaçlar,
bilginin toplanması, alternatiflerin değerlendirilmesi ve memnuniyet)
üzerindeki etkisini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın ana evreni Karadeniz Teknik
Üniversitesi, Recep Tayyip Erdoğan Üniversitesi ve Gümüşhane Üniversitesi’nde
öğrenim gören ön lisans ve lisans öğrencilerinden oluşmaktadır. Araştırmada
yargısal örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmış ve üniversite öğrencilerine yüz yüze
anket yöntemiyle 800 anket uygulanmıştır. SPSS25 ve AMOS istatistik
programlarıyla elde edilen verilerin analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma
verilerinin güvenilirliğinin belirlemesinde cronbach alfa yöntemi,
geçerliliğinin belirlenmesinde ise faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Araştırma
hipotezleri ise yapısal eşitlik modellemesiyle test edilmiştir. Analiz
sonucunda algılanan dışsal prestijin öğrenci ödüllendirme deneyimi üzerinde
anlamlı ve pozitif yönde etkisi olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda
elde edilen diğer bir bulgu ise, öğrenci ödüllendirme deneyiminin gelişen
ihtiyaçlar, bilginin toplanması, alternatiflerin değerlendirilmesi ve
memnuniyet üzerinde anlamlı ve pozitif yönlü bir etkisi olduğudur. Bu
doğrultuda Yükseköğretim Kurulu Başkanlığı’nın “Bölgesel Kalkınma Odaklı Misyon
Farklılaşması ve İhtisaslaşma Projesi" çerçevesinde belirlenen
üniversitelerin, bölgelerindeki koşullar dikkate alınarak daha geniş kapsamlı
çalışmalar yapılabilir. Ayrıca, dünyada ve ülkemizde alan sıralamasında öne
çıkan üniversiteler ile bu proje kapsamında belirlenen üniversitelerin
alanlarında/bölümlerinde çok veya tek boyutlu yapılacak çalışmalar literatüre
katkı sağlayabilir.
